Wrongheade­d

-

On Thursday the 24th of May, one of Ireland’s l eading contempora­r y dance companies performs at the Hawk’s Well Theatre. A ver y timely show, Liz Roche Company’s Wrongheade­d merges film, voice and movement to confront the stark realities of women’s rights and freedom of choice in Ireland today.

The fierce spoken words of Galway poet Elaine Feeney drive the piece, with electrif ying performanc­es by exceptiona­l dancers Sarah Cerneaux, Justine Cooper, Kevin Coquelard and Jack Webb inter woven with the exquisite work of film maker Mary Wycherley, composer Ray Harman and lighting designer Stephen Dodd. All elements are gathered together to create an intense forum for emotion and physicalit y but ultimately, Wrongheade­d is a refuge from the debate; a space to consider these issues from a new perspectiv­e.

Tickets to Wrongheade­d are €15 + €1 fee towards the Hawk’s Well renovation fund. Tickets can be booked online or at the theatre box office at 071-91/61518.
